Agates mostly occur as nodules in volcanic rocks or waters
containing Silica in solution which is possibly derived from the
decomposition of Silicates in the lava. The Siliceous matter is deposited
in regular layers resulting in the banded or striped formation. It is
very unlikely that you would ever find an exact duplicate of any
type of Agate, Fairburn or other.
